This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Cys175*) in the FOLR1 gene. While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 83 amino acid(s) of the FOLR1 protein. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with cerebral folate deficiency (PMID: 19732866). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 16256). Studies have shown that this premature translational stop signal alters FOLR1 gene expression (PMID: 22586289). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
